Wow, very nice collection! Wonder what I would look like with a pipe.....

That's only about half of my pipes, they range from 18350 to 18650 in battery size and stems up to 10 inches. They are wonderful for sitting and relaxing. I am starting to think I should have bought a bigger pipe rack. Each gets used depending on my mood at the time, with the pipes this is far more prevalent than with my tube or box mods.

The wildcats are the best...my 22 CHeetah Rem 700 vapor stick, the 375/338 Browning BAR, the 450 Alaskan Win 71 as well. All these go nicely when vaping a nice pipe at the range...


OMG, I didn't even know they made those. Very nice collection! I'm with misswish, wonder if I could pull off using a pipe.

ETA Really like the drip tips on some of those.

Thanks for all the info on bifocals/trifocals and KGD! Maybe I'll hit up our local Nordstrom just to see if it's something they carry in-store. They're charging around $4 for 3 pads on eBay, which is not such a great deal compared with $12/60 pads from Nordstrom.

I tried out a .4 Ohm build on my Big Buddha over the weekend, and I didn't like it at all. It was just too much vape, and too hot, and the flavors were off. I went back to .6 Ohm, and everything is good again. I'm having trouble understanding why anyone would think that .2 Ohms/100W is really needed, but I guess there's no accounting for taste.

Nordstrom's is on the way in from the airport so you better get there first if you want any. ;)

Quite a few of the longer stems I made myself using regular tobacco pipe stems and modding them with the Siam Mods Murano Glass Tip adapters. Most of them were made to fit my GP Spheriod.

Love those pipes! I've seen some I've thought about getting, but haven't...yet. I vape alone, normally, so don't care what anyone would think about a woman with a pipe. I use a ss bent tip on my tanks,it lets me relax the angle I hold my arm, wrist & hand so they don't lock up on me. I hate having vapor lock.

Welcome to the porch Kenna! I use an angled drip too and vape alone. Feels kind of awkward with a straight tip and the angled makes it much easier to vape in bed. :D Vapor lock, good one! :lol: Alas, been there and done that with a cranky wrist.

Today is Columbus Day, honoring the last folks on the planet, white guys, to find the Americas. No, wait, some did but I guess they were too far north to count.

Anyway, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic and bumped into China. Columbus dumped some crewmen off, led by Luis de Torres, to go find the Emperor while he putzed around doing some more exploring.

With China being on the opposite side of the globe from Cuba, Luis de Torres was frustrated in his efforts to find the Emperor but did discover something way “better,” tobacco. So stop blaming BT for all your problems, bum a cigarette and snuff out a .... on the Columbus statue nearest you.

MBV [/B ]is having a Columbus day sale today, west coast times, “October 13, 2014 from 12:01 am through 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) everything is on sale! Simply enter the coupon code "AHOY1492" at checkout to receive 14.92% off your order. Be sure to use a time zone converter to assure you don't miss out!”

Well I got 400ml of juice made, 2coild ready to go, wicking material ready to rewick all 4 kayfuns and recoil 2. I am almost ready for my trip. Figure I may have to rewick 1 or 2 on the way. I found out ordering TFA flavor directly from them is not only cheaper but fast. It's nice to just order from one place but it has its disadvantages too. I also had it shipped First Class and it was just as fast as Priority at 1/2 the price. Also this EH Pro Kayfun Lite plus V2 tastes every bit as good as the real thing. I really think it goes together better. It has more threads on the pieces and the funnel part of the chimney goes through the O ring instead of just catching the end of the O ring. I have had more problems with that O ring leaking then anyother thing . It also has a tighter draw but it doesn't flood so ok by me. I read on here you can drill out the air hole a little but I don't have a drill press and don't want to ruin it by accident. It doesn't bother me as long as it doesn't flood.

So after fiddling around with my Nautilus for a couple of weeks I just ordered myself a couple more Davides as an additional belated vapeversary present. I'm still considering an Eleaf iStick as well, but I'm waiting for more information on the issues people are having with it running "hot" on lower wattages. Or maybe the MVP 3 will have an easier to push button, since that is the only issue I have with my MVP 2s.


I have the trifocal no line ones. Not fond of having to wear glasses but since I have to, I like them a lot. I can see distance but not close up at all. Longest distance is to see the computer screen. I'm so tired of taking them off every time I stand up I just let then sit at the end of my nose...

Stairs are the worst, especially when you insist on wearing the glasses on the end of your nose. :lol:

I still find the ones with lines easier to use, since it gives me a reference for where to look. That, and with balance issues I find the gradual change in focus to be a problem.

Oh yeah, stairs. The first week I had glasses (bifocals) I went to see a play. I dressed up, including the high heels I never normally wore (don't wear them at all anymore) and ended up faced with curved stairs with a patterned carpet. Going up was bad, going down my daughter had to both hold my elbow and talk me through being sure my foot was going to the right place.

But, I think the question on everyone's mind is, HOW DOES SHE VAPE???

It whispers on one end, bites on the other...

I got a package this weekend. yaaaaa... My mail carrier is now back in my good graces.

And I decided to give a peek inside my (cardboard box) light box, instead of cropping the photo.
